Nice office, easy access and interesting work

The leadership team is quite toxic, some management colleagues are very difficult to work with and don't value you or provide any room for you to be you.

Think hard before taking a role here, and stay clear unless absolutely desperate

Policy manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Good canteen and subsidised prices

Cons

Very much a rudderless ship. The company has no clear direction and communication lines are blurry at best. No leadership on key strategy and goals. Culture is something I’d say is toxic to work within. Planning is non existent with blaming coming from all directions, junior, to mid, to senior team members. Issues or jobs that would be 30mins in other organisations stretch out to days here.
